We Are But Creatures Of The Night.....

good as any to remember

Hmmm...why does that sound familiar?

Right, we'll pick a random date.....say, the 5th.?

November would be better

OK, we'll pencil it in for October, then......

Could you put your plans on hold for a while, lela? We're visiting next summer and I'd like to have a peek before it goes!

'He' is 5th cousin to Queenie, not that it shows.

Yes, first Parliament, then that emblem of decadent aristocracy, Puckingham Balace........

what about the Parliament? careful Big Brother might be listening

he can double up for Guy Fawkes night

Then my work here is done..........

Yikes! You scared me.... Even though I'm a few days late.

Well, Mr.Squirt, I can only assume that you became a father at a very advanced age.......

This picture was taken in the basement of unclebluebottle's hardware store - where he stores his prized vintage foodstuffs........

Lots of lightning going on????

have you been visiting my area on the Sellafield coast everything glows in the dark there

My daughter faaaar older, eh? A sophomoric jibe, an adolescent barb AT BEST. But we expect less of you these days, lelabug, as age creeps inexorably up on you and SAPS you of your intellectual POWERS! (Or is the Tadpole Wine finally starting to work its insidious evil on your brain?)

I shall only go out during the day......

Oh-oh...does that mean you now glow in the dark? Won't help much in disguising you from your adversaries unless you pretend to be a flashlight ("torch" to the UK natives)!

Nooo, I was just struck by lightning!

What is it you've got in your hat Lela? - has it caught fire???

Mr.Squirt.......your hearty appreciation of this magnificent montage almost (but not quite) brings a tear to the eye.......Happy Birthday to your number-one-daughter ....... who, for some reason, I imagined to be faaaar older, hee-hee!

Thank you all!

First of all - Happy Birthday to your daughter patsquire, and then HUGS for you - and then hooray for our host - who has created this wonderful Halloween greeting.. and for his family too - and then Happy Halloween all of you... to the Gnob-Gnobbers too, and everybody not mentioned... Guess that's all - Dogdaze for you too.... and your friends..

Um, have to cut mine in slices. Apples are so good for us

Good morning Junneee! We call them caramel apples over on this side of the pond, and they were wonderful . . . . when my teeth were up to the task!

Isn't this a great new puzzle lela has given us? Hooray for our distinguished host!

somebody mention chocolate? Nom. Here we have toffee apples on Halloween

It's just you, stackables. But I'd be glad to break you off a piece of that Kit-Kat Bar!

Is it just me or does Halloween sound like "Hello Wine"--pour me another glass of that Tadpole wine!!!

Oooooohhhhh - s-h-u-d-d-e-r - who or what is that spooky dark presence beside Mrs.B, above the Gnob-Gnobbers? Creeps me out! I need somebody to hold me! Hugs please!

Well, I just found this (because my schedule is all mixed up) but it is SO MAGNIFIQUE that I am delighted to be solving it, even though I'm late.

By the way, Hallowe'en is my first daughter's birthday!

Please join me in wishing her a HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY ! ! ! ! !

Happy scary day back at ya☺☺You big hunk.

Sorry, fonseratu. I've got a bad head cold.

Fear not my friend......'tis just that friends are fickle.......
We shall all go the way of the wind.......

I've had them sitting on me - they are nice, but not awfully beautiful..

Nope! It was usually a sudden drop in temperature and a sense of a 'presence'.

The Gnob-Gnobbers were just passing by........If there's any trouble - I have a scythe, and I'm not afraid to use it!
Nutty-Biscuit......I would imagine you smelled a 'presence' also, as well, too!

We had lots of bats coming into our house in Italy, but it was a big 13th century stronghold on top of a hill. No wonder! One often felt a 'presence' there!...

I'm guessing that everyone thinks the Door Knob-Knobs are in costume...hope no one tries to pull off their masks...or we'll have an international/intergalactic incident for sure...

I have been in Wuce Brayne's batcave..........there was not one bat in sight......

you can take it for granted that I am scared by the varmints

Juneee, you are forgiven........

Never had pipistrelles, but I used to love catching Little Brown Miotis when I was a youngster. I'd put 'em in shoeboxes and scare the bejeezus out of people.

talking of pipistrelles I have twice had them in my bedroom to my horror. My son has fixed some bat deterrent to my window so hopefully they will keep out.

I haven't deserted just having a little rest and reading your stuff

Why thank you, precious-pebble......someone has to make the effort!

I saw Trouble_and_Frog's posting and was wondering where you were, lela...were you still on the lam...so to speak...but then Halloween is a perfect cover for you to get out and about amongst your adversaries and they will never know who you are! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! And don't forget to let your mum check your treats!

P.S. Must say Mrs. B...you are looking verrra (Scottish burr from reading The Outlander series) chic!

I had to look up 'pipistrelle'!
And BOO! to you too, as well, also, raincoat-infusion!

Spoooooooktacular art work Lela B ...Happy Halloween :0) ♥ ♥ ♥

Pipistrelles are getting high on tadpole wine as we speak! ; -)
